Liverpool
manager Jurgen Klopp is keeping close tabs on Borussia Monchengladbach star Granit
Xhaka, according to reports in Germany.

The
reports have revealed that the Switzerland international midfielder has been
linked with a move away from Bundesliga since the start of this year.

Xhaka
has been an exceptional player for Monchengladbach since his move from FC Basel
in 2012.

Liverpool
boss Klopp has not signed a player since joining the Reds last year but now is
planning to seal his pre agreement in the coming days. However, he will have to
fight Premier League clubs Arsenal and Manchester City as they all are also in the
race but the Reds are currently leading the race.

Arsenal
boss Arsene Wenger might not take interest in the summer window as he signed Mohamed
Elneny from Basel last month.

Meanwhile,
German giants Bayern Munich are also monitoring his situation and could make a
surprise bid in the summer.

The 23-year-old is a versatile midfielder can be used in various midfield positions. He has made more than 120 appearances for the German side since joining them. He has also made 34 appearances for Switzerland.
